subject: Growth In A Recession: Business Owener Of Gaze A Glaze Thinks So [print this page] Bankers may be under the spotlight with respect to taxation on bonuses but is it all just a smokescreen? And anyway, where is the real fightback going to come from?
Or can it be? Small businesses dont seem to be locked into the depression the same way that bigger businesses, the public sector and others try to convey the status quo. Businesses have been trading against the odds in the last two years and now hope that the elbow grease will be reflected in sales. Many people are able to maintain the same level of business as the last year or two albeit by peddling that little bit harder to get the cash in.
This story of the small business bullet-proof success story is played aptly by Gaze A Glaze London Window Cleaning Director, James Bridgeman. Widnow Cleaner and Founder, James Bridgeman. In fact the hardest thing for us is not the recession, it is skilled and dependable workers!" Bridgeman goes on to say how by becoming more efficient as a business and focussing on affective marketing online and culling old and out of date, yet still expensive advertising, Gaze a Glaze has gone into the storm of economic hardship well prepared. He laughs, "We're still here, we made it. I think our decisions were good ones for that moment in time. Our clients are always happy because we are always doing our best to go the extra mile!"
Gaze A Glaze is just one of many small businesses that I have spoken to who are emerging from this recession leaner and ready to capitalise on a slow steady recovery. Even with a large economy drive from the government, gaze-A-Glaze's James Bridgeman still believes that the private sector can really steal a march and get Britain working and trading again. Let's hope he is right. Dashed hard work could be the tonic we all need.
